Rain and Mail

Yesterday it rained off and on though out the day and when it wasn't raining it was very humid. That said I really didn't do anything or go anywhere, however while my wife was cleaning she had found some old sparklers and fireworks so later that night we went out side and lit them up. It was okay but I remember it being a lot more fun as a kid.

Then today I got something in the mail. I like to find my games in stores rather than buying them online, its more of a thrill that way. Anyway, a few days ago I was looking on eBay for current prices of some games to see what games I might want to pick up if I happen to come across them, for reselling purposes. Other games I wanted I just wanted to double check the labels to see what they looked like and what colors or designs I should be looking for etc. I did a search for a game by the name of Hagane, this game came out in the USA but was only sold at Blockbuster and it was a late SNES release so its very rare and goes for about $300 to $1000 depending on condition and completeness. While the Japanese version was not as rare it was still relatively rare and will go for about $75 to $200 again depending on condition and completeness. While looking I came across a listing that had just been posted and the buy now price was $35, I don't know if this was an error or a shop getting rid of its inventory but it was a really low price (and the game is good too, hard but good). Other listings for the SFC version right beside it where double the price on top of that the game was in like new condition. So I purchased it and had it sent to me here in Japan (my first delivery) the guy packed it really well and I put some pictures of the packing job on the side here. It looks great and I am excited to give it a try in my new Super Famicom.

Also included in the packaging was a bonus Naruto Card Game card, I dont play the game but a cool throw in none the less.
